Little did I know that this introduction would ignite my passion for the building industry, paving the way for my achievements today.
My journey in the construction industry began in the mid-70s, when I humbly started hanging sheetrock with a neighbor in need of assistance. Little did I know that this introduction would ignite my passion for the building industry, paving the way for my achievements today. Some of my notable accomplishments include:
Acquiring a degree in architecture and civil engineering, equipping me with a comprehensive understanding of the field.
Designing and overseeing the construction of over 750 structures that now stand as testaments to my expertise.
Transforming 3000 acres of land into 3000 building sites, including 800 waterfront locations and 200 acres dedicated to commercial and industrial development.
Spearheading the construction of 25 miles of roads, with one of my notable achievements being a city sewer manhole that reaches an impressive 42 feet underground.
Earning certification as a NSP Energy Auditor, showcasing my commitment to promoting energy efficiency in building practices.
Establishing an Endowment Fund for Conservation, which has flourished and currently exceeds $1,600,000, contributing to the preservation of our natural resources.
Throughout my career, I have honed my skills as both a journeyman drywall expert and a journeyman carpenter, completing over 300 successful remodel projects. Additionally, I have expertly applied spray texture to more than 1,000,000 square feet of ceilings, showcasing my attention to detail and craftsmanship.
However, my true passion lies in innovation and invention. I take great pride in my contributions to the construction industry as the inventor of groundbreaking technologies such as:
The Tstud™ Technology, which has garnered recognition with the issuance of 10 US and 5 Canadian patents.
Revolutionary inventions such as WarmStud™ and RhinoStud™, which are currently pending patents and poised to transform the industry.
Innovations like DrainStrip™ and NoTape™ Drywall Solutions, which hold great promise for more efficient and sustainable construction practices.
I have also developed a groundbreaking Footing/Foundation assembly that incorporates thermal breaks using recycled plastics and repurposed windmill blades, resulting in remarkable energy efficiency.
Furthermore, my Footing/Foundation/Wall/Roof Assemblies are designed to withstand hurricane and tornado events, capable of stopping or capturing a 100 mph 2x4. These assemblies are not only exceptionally durable but also highly energy efficient.
Another noteworthy creation is the thermally broken window and door jambs, enabling builders to install windows and doors from within a building, eliminating the need for external lifts, jigs, or lulls.
These are just a few examples of my extensive repertoire of innovative solutions that have the potential to revolutionize the construction industry. I am driven by a deep commitment to pushing boundaries and constantly seeking new ways to enhance efficiency, sustainability, and safety.
